Answer
coding conventions   general rules used in the ICD-10-CM classification system that are independent of coding guidelines  
🗑
coding conventions abbreviations   use of NEC (not elsewhere classifiable) and NOS (not otherwise specified)  
🗑
coding conventions NEC (not elsewhere classifiable)   equivalent of "other specified"; identifies codes that are to be assigned when information needed to assign a more specific code cannot be located in the coding manual.  
🗑
coding conventions NOS (not otherwise specified)   equivalent of "unspecified"; identifies codes that are to be assigned when information needed to assign a more specific code cannot be obtained from the provider.  
🗑
and   interpreted as meaning "and/or"  
🗑
boxed note   defines terms, provides coding instruction, and lists fifth-digit subclassifications for categories that use the same fifth digits  
🗑
code also   ICD-10-CM note that provides instruction that two codes may be required to fully describe a condition; this not does not provide sequencing direction.  
🗑
cross-references   instruction to refer to another entry in the index or tabular list to assign the correct code  
🗑
cross-references see   instructional term that is located after a main term or subterm in the indexes  
🗑
cross-references see also   instructional term that is located after a main term or subterm, in the index and directs the coder to another main term that may provide additional useful index entries.  
🗑
cross-references see category   instructional term that directs the coder to the lobular list, where a code can be selected from the options provided there.  
🗑
cross-references see condition   instructional term that directs the coder to the main term in the index for a condition  
🗑

🗑
due to   index subterm that indicated the presence of a cause-and effect relationship between two conditions  
🗑

🗑
code, if applicable, any casual condition first   tabular list instructional note that requires casual conditions to be sequenced first, if present.  
🗑
in diseases classified elsewhere   indicates that manifestation codes are component of the etiology/manifestation coding convention.  
🗑
use additional code   instructional note that assists in proper sequencing of the codes.  
🗑
excludes 1 note   appears below codes in the ICD-10-CM tabular list to direct the coder to another location in tabular list to classify conditions that excluded from the code - code either the original code or the code to which the excludes 1 note directs you.  
🗑
excludes 2 note   appears below code in the ICD-10-CM tabular list to direct the coder to another location in the tabular list to classify conditions that are excluded from the code;  
🗑
format   for ease of reference, index subterms are indented two spaces below a main term; second, third, and fourth qualifiers are indented two, four, and six spaces, respectively, bellows the subterm.  
🗑

🗑
includes note   appears immediately below tabular list codes to further define terms or provide examples  
🗑
inclusion term   listed below certain codes in the tabular lists; includes conditions or procedure for which that code number is to be assigned  
🗑
manifestation   condition that occurs as the result of another condition; a manifestation code is always reported as a secondary code
